The doctor said that the weight doesn't cause concern since it's right on the same curve that she's always been on {since day one she's been in the 20-something percentile for weight and 80 or 90-something for length} but that she would like to see a bit more weight put on by our next appointment in April. So we were sent home with literature on how to fatten up a baby - it turns out to be such a rare thing that they need to hand out that the copy is a bit yellowed looking.
Her iron levels are perfect so we got the okay to start her on cows milk {whole milk only} so that may help. I'm upping her intake of avocado, natural peanut butter {she doesn't have a nut allergy}, coconut milk, whole milk yogurt and cheese, and am going to cook her veggies in olive oil {instead of steaming or raw as i have been} as nutritious ways off adding healthy fats to her diet.
